Abstract

This chapter is the first work in the English language to describe the processes of development of the National Comprehensive Scientific Roadmap (NCSR) of Iran (SCCR, Supporting documents for comprehensive scientific plan, 2010). The chapter deals with a number of important questions that had to be answered when formulating the framework for the NCSR, including: What was the framework for knowledge management in the development of an NCSR? What were the relationships between the agents and what methods were used in transferring knowledge among them? What methods were used for organizing and managing knowledge during the process of creating the NCSR? And what tools were applied in the formulation of strategic documents to expedite the processes of producing, extracting, organizing, sharing, disseminating, and applying knowledge?
